Spiritual pitfalls
 
The urge to serve
For a feel good factor
Though with gusto and verve
Act of doership, ego the detractor

Hermit resolute
Knows his life's mission
Recognising ego’s in pursuit
For each act, seeks God's permission

Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde
 
primal feral instincts
involuntarily stir
catching us off guard
yet here they are
vibrations unwelcome
which so appear
where grow their roots
which we nurture

Unseeking Seeker 03-01-2023 01:55 PM

Unfeeling hearts
 
sometimes it so happens
love knocks on icy hearts
and is cold shouldered

in timeless time jagged rocks
are smoothened by the river’s flow
love employs no force

unconscious souls
yet rooted in animal nature
appear cloaked in human form

the indwelling spirit
is the same within all
only coordinates differ

there’s neither judgment nor shame
the sunlight continues to stream
on all life without prejudice

Unseeking Seeker 08-01-2023 01:10 PM

Stoop to conquer
 
Spiritual practice is doomed from the start,
since any ritual involves our doership
and therefore unless ego’s made to depart,
futile is our meditation or worship,
unless ofcourse we choose to add love to cart,
exiting shallow game of one-upmanship,
whereupon once no agenda is tabled,
by God's grace, soul's ascension is enabled.

Watch that thought
 
behold heart contractions
appear in consciousness
it shouldn’t be so but is
leaving us astonished
so we witness tremors
just looking nonchalantly
the thought’s self-conscious
feels lonesome since it is unfed

it is a standoff
in time stretched silence

the imaginary bubble of delusion
bursts noiselessly in the void
for it’s existence depends
upon our attention

betwixt the ebb and flow
waves of bliss cascade within
dynamic stillness envelopes being

ever tranquil

Unseeking Seeker 26-01-2023 01:49 AM

Is-ness of being-ness
 
lament not
what’s downstream
be here now

desire not
mere objects
bliss beats beep

God’s life pulse
resounding
throbs within

In awe of God
 
In awe of God, with love not fear,
soul’s innocence rests lower mind,
tuning in to divine rhythm kind,
letting not lower thoughts appear,
deeming all as one and thus dear,
playing our life role as assigned,
in awe of God.

When bliss beats rise, we sense He’s near
and follow love’s scent in trust blind,
that we be by its hues defined,
shaped by spirit, we choose to steer,
in awe of God.

Benign bliss burn
 
Bliss magnetism transforms our form
Our heart’s gripped in childlike delight
Nodes tingling within, the new norm
As rapture peaks by day and night

Our central vein is ignited
Bliss magnetism transforms our form
Head and heart, with love united
Willingly to God’s laws conform

Caress divine, tender and warm
Radiant energy torus
Bliss magnetism transforms our form
Mindful eye gentle, heart porous

There’s no doing that need be done
Standing still in this benign storm
With God one, we shine like the sun
Bliss magnetism transforms our form

Who am I
 
See ye not yet, we're hypnotised
by desires, so our soul's capsized.
Stillness side-steps illusion net.
We're hypnotised. See ye not yet?

We’re not the mind, we're not this form.
We're not the currents, cool or warm.
We’re living light, blissful and kind.
We're not this form, we're not the mind.

Stoic surrender
 
knowing is not the becoming
until we assimilate wisdom
recognising within heart
lies God’s kingdom

yet having been and so seen
truth of underlying reality
in the midst of storms
we retain clarity

within the womb of existence
there’s no haste to ascend
standing still all we do
our will to God bend

Unseeking Seeker 08-03-2023 04:30 AM

Sin and redemption
 
Branding the wayward
as a perpetrator of evil
let us pause a moment
to examine origin of sin

knowing not love and light
is the cause not ignorance
resulting in fall from grace

all that then is required
is to show the roadmap

that such souls may awake

Unseeking Seeker 13-03-2023 05:11 AM

Inner light
 
vibrant emptiness
no urge to react
or to respond
magnetism hums
soma nectar drips
what else then is there
that needs to be felt
as we so radiate
our inner light

Unseeking Seeker 26-03-2023 09:15 AM

Hall of mirrors
 
Replacing one illusion for another
is merely shifting coordinates in space,
for our indulgence therein will yet smother
freedom of soul, with new horizons to chase,
thus but a mind game conjured, so why bother
if the outcome at end of days is disgrace,
having succumbed to cravings of our ego,
in the world of transience, we’re loathe to forgo.

Flickering awareness
 
Having been shown that we are living light,
how may we assimilate this knowing
in our mind-body with spherical sight,
that in time stretched silence, we keep flowing,
seeing clearly our inner light glowing?
Encased in form, attention oscillates
and so we languish outside heaven's gates.
Flickering awareness is of no use,
for the peace we felt, on earth plane abates,
so we are still and let bliss beats seduce.

Descent and ascent
 
Poised at a point, that stands apart from space-time,
all that is, is energy before release,
when awareness self-aware then heeds love's chime,
opting to bilocate with nonchalant ease,
that its diminished self may heavenward climb,
after exiting trance; ego spawned disease.
Thus, first one becomes two, then two becomes one,
reuniting with source, when we come undone.

The simple truth
 
the character in the dream wishes to awake
imagining that its soul growth is at stake
whilst the dreamer in trance is deluded
how then may truth be concluded
unless the object ceases to respond
thereby breaking off fear and desire bond

this is the way oh hermit, just stop thinking
the truth of existence hides between eyes blinking

Unseeking Seeker 01-05-2023 11:38 PM

Who am I
 
”The truth is in here, not out there ~
We’re luminous soul, self-aware”



Our heart recalls, we’re living light
but lower mind leads us astray.
God’s grace alone, bestows clear sight.

Blue skies turn grey and so we pray,
hoping against hope to be blessed
but lower mind leads us astray.

It’s time oh hermit, we undressed,
resting cravings of our ego,
hoping against hope to be blessed.

Choosing then, to make thought flow slow,
we plunge into the vibrant void,
resting cravings of our ego.

No longer by erst fears decoyed,
as truth of soul we realise,
we plunge into the vibrant void.

Ceasing to weigh, measure or size,
our heart recalls, we’re living light.
As truth of soul we realise,
God’s grace alone, bestows clear sight.

Have the cake and eat it too
 
The flame of awareness is held by God,
which flickers in mind-body that we learn
that we should not be by illusions awed,
in staid silence, imbibing love’s bliss burn.

The question is, how may we bilocate,
to be present both in heaven and earth,
which requires that our heart carries no weight,
through highs and lows of life, bubbling with mirth?

Transmutation of form as living light
would let us have the cake and eat it too,
wherein having garnered spherical sight,
breath by breath we feel pulse of bliss renew.

To become as such, ego must recede ~
In childlike trust, allowing love to lead

A revelation
 
the fabric of space yields
shimmering, lifting the veil
that what stands behind it
is perceived as living light
being the light of our Self

Unseeking Seeker 27-05-2023 04:56 AM

Commiserations
 
we’re called upon to console
a friend whose spouse has passed
and so we faithfully play out our life role
as we have been by the universe so tasked

the stark truth is that we have all been lied to
for all that here appears and disappears
is but a mist like the morning dew
needless are tears and fears

Unseeking Seeker 31-05-2023 03:17 AM

Walk the talk
 
The path is simple, walk on it
Erasing desires, bit by bit
Embrace and release, flow with ease
God’s grace takes us to the summit

Demons of mind, we need not please
Simply flow like the morning breeze
Love alone’s real, wisely choose
Let now cravings of ego cease

Succumb not to lower mind’s ruse
Life’s a dream, we can never lose
Find out the truth of who we are
Feel how bliss mists, our form suffuse

All’s within, not somewhere afar
Our soul’s light is like the North Star
To know the truth, simply be still
There’s no need to struggle and spar

Surrender fully to God’s will
For pure hearts, voids within soon fill
We are enabled by God’s grace
Thus easy is ascent uphill

Whispers from the void
 
silence intimate
beckons us

ego prefers noise

heart calls to head
to align with love

and regain poise

Unseeking Seeker 06-06-2023 04:07 AM

The simple truth
 
We all are one, simply know this
Let’s see ourselves for who we are
In God’s image, love, light and bliss

No need then to struggle and spar
Voids within fill, if we be still
Let’s see ourselves for who we are

On choosing to relinquish will
Bliss magnetism pervades our form
Voids within fill, if we be still

Suffused with divine currents warm
With Holy Spirit, we connect
Bliss magnetism pervades our form

We’re both the object and subject
The truth is, we’re He, who we seek
With Holy Spirit, we connect

Simple is wisdom, yet quite deep
We all are one, simply know this
The truth is, we’re He, who we seek
In God’s image, love, light and bliss

Intermediate truths
 
Intermediate truths will do for now,
because we dwell as yet in lower mind
and soul whispers know not how to follow;
conditioned beliefs grip us in their bind
and so for the moment, soul must lay low,
since light of Self is known not to the blind.
Lead us on pastor, for now, words will do,
although deep in our heart, they don’t ring true.

So easy
 
mind inquires
but needs to stop
handing over the baton
to intelligence of our heart
that the light of true Self
illuminates our path

The knowing
 
Presence complete yet in form feeling incomplete
Surrenders imagined knowing at an unknown God’s feet
We must be truthful about this, having not seen the unseen
That in timeless time, in as ordained, we may reclaim soul’s sheen

The ultimate truths have been repeatedly affirmed in various scriptures
There is nether bondage nor limitation; self-imposed are strictures
Confining awareness to the thinking process, we are bound
Myriad fears and desires then inevitably twirl us around

Relinquishing the delusional need to weigh and size
Who in truth we really are, staid silence enables us to realise
It is, we may say, something like waking up within life’s lucid dream
Where the unfinished movie plays on shaped as thoughts we did stream

Reworded, we may say that in reality, by so knowing, life flows as before
But now having garnered clear sight, there are no goals to score
We thus remain here present, aglow in our light luminescent
Cognisant of this divine play of descent and ascent

Unseeking Seeker 28-06-2023 02:10 PM

smiling as he fell
 
today my form walked
along a different route
events dictated choice
doing what did then suit

‘twas a strange combine
of angst along with bliss
blown like a leaf in storms
I yet found nothing amiss

darkness cloaked darkness
but as self-luminescent soul
as stillness amidst the chaos
in the abyss too I felt whole

Unseeking Seeker 06-07-2023 04:20 AM

i am
 
ego dies
yet i am
radiant

I am as am
self-existent
luminous
living light

attributeless
at peace
feeling complete
i renew life

beyond time
and space
in singularity

What is love
 
the love we speak of
is not a trade
being unconditional
it assigns no grade

most seek reciprocation
or at least recognition
but true love dear hearts
is bliss ignition

look for these signposts
joy, empathy, peace, purity
all encompassing compassion
free from insecurity

Unseeking Seeker 19-07-2023 10:11 AM

Nip it in the bud
 
seemingly innocuous
seeds of lustful outrage
soon sprouted feral fangs
although as yet unborn
manifested in dreams

we lived the desire
in the savagery conjured
in caverns dark astral realms
which in time so became
destiny in this density

Unseeking Seeker 23-07-2023 06:11 AM

This is all it takes
 
Wherefrom arises the urge to expand,
rising above confines of body-mind?
We know not the path, yet we understand,
that unless attachments are left behind,
thought forms of fear and desire will demand,
that deaf to call of love, we remain blind.
If we but choose to shift from head to heart,
one with the universe, God search can start.

Unseeking Seeker 26-07-2023 02:06 AM

Ego fears the truth
 
as a multi-dimensional being
ego a temporary interface
we see it gathering pebbles and stones
knowing not each reflection is God’s face

the veil of forgetting has caged us here
yet within each polarity exchange
boundaries blur and all then becomes one
all is as before, which ego finds strange

The extra mile
 
How difficult is it to smile,
to hold a friend’s hand for a while,
choosing to walk the extra mile?

Let’s shed our resistance.

Let’s take life slow and gently flow,
awakening our inner glow,
assisting those we meet to grow.

Love is soul’s subsistence.

Life’s a gift but we roam adrift,
so time’s now to give soul a lift,
by a simple consciousness shift.

From God there’s no distance.

Unseeking Seeker 09-08-2023 10:56 AM

Let us play
 
as of soul evolution
we’re a mix of good and bad
that’s alright

on an as is where is basis
just as a game
choose to dip down a little
a pretence of course
dwell in a fallen vibration
but be mindful
not to slip into the abyss
then slowly exit from trance
without judging because it’s a game

pause

now go the other way
emulate any ascended being
Jesus, Buddha, Shiva …
does not matter who
draw in essence of their being
into our receptive heart
allow luminescence to fill us
and then so remain
until gravity pulls us down
to where we stand today

pause

notice we do not cling
neither to the bad nor the good
that’s alright

Self is free from attributes

Jacob’s ladder
 
Jacob’s ladder has nodes seven,
which our Father who’s in heaven,
assists us here now to ascend,
if our ego to love we bend,
that by using mind of our heart,
our life purpose on earth may start.

The practice
 
Recognising in each heart
God’s light
How can love not blossom
We mistook
Forms we saw as separate
From source
But now knowing, we pause
To pray
And hold steady soul focus
On God
Who remains our only refuge

Unseeking Seeker 29-08-2023 05:23 AM

Be here now
 
Take not holy name in vain,
more so if pleading for gain
but simply be, here carefree,
unshackled from our mind tree.

We are the pulse that renews,
life’s beauteous bliss beat hues,
so let the waves come and go,
keeping aflame our heart’s glow.

Magic within
 
staff of power at our innermost core
reckons it’s time and so lets out a roar
if we pause to blink, we’ll surely miss it
let us choose then, to playfully submit
